TGS: Eternal Arcadia, Phantasy Star Online MIA

[09.18.99] » Sega's big RPG pair appears in merchandise form only.

   While Parasite Eve II, Chrono Trigger, and other Square titles grab headline at the Tokyo Game Show, Sega's RPG contingent has called in sick. Neither Eternal Arcadia nor the just-announced Phantasy Star Online appeared at the show. Indeed, the only sign that either game was a handful of PS Online merchandise available for purchase at Sega's booth. While far from a substitute from actual game footage, the Phantasy Star Online t-shirt and phone card do reveal the game's logo. (Note the Algol system's three planets orbiting the logo).
